My Review

Mrs. Parsley Makes a Delivery and Other Stories is a charming collection of magical tales all with a valuable lesson shared by a very eccentric witch named Mrs. Parsley and her crafty cat, Laptop.

As, Mrs. Parsley sets out to fulfill the duties of Santa, The Tooth Fairy and others she realizes her powers are limited and she has to get a bit creative to accomplish the tasks at hand.

Wonderfully written and enchanting, Mrs. Parsley Makes a Delivery and Other Stories is delightful for both children and parents alike. I definitely recommend picking up a copy.
